Epic sound for price!
Short version:
I own this headset for a few months now.
I've bought it for gaming and music.
The sound is by far the best aspect of the headset.
Build quality is poor, comfort is acceptable.
Longer version:
Upon opening the package the elastic bands from the headrest were broken (first one, during investigating the other one broke to)
Thomann offered warranty repair, but I didnt want to send it back and be without a headset for weeks, so I repaired it myself. I disassembled the headset, replaced the rubbery elastic component with metal wiring. This leads me to "build quality".
The build quality is absolutely poor, it rattles, plastics are cheap and it feels a flimsy. But what do you expect from a <50EUR headset. The cable and mute/volume button on cable seem decent. The strain reliefs seem decent to. Internally the wiring is a bit messy, but I cannot compare it to another headset. I chose sound over build quality.. Which brings me to sound.
The sound is very crysp. The frequency range is very broad. I do not have audiophile hardware to test it on, but the soundcard on my PC generates decent sound (AAC / FLAC music). I like deep bass (not overpowered, but deep), this headset provides it. I like those relaxation sound clips (e.g. jungle and whales) and movie soundtracks. I wear it quite a lot and can recommend this headset simply for its sound only. Wearing means comfort...
The wearing comfort is average. Its light, that is good. But the earpads are of fake leather. I'ts still winter, but it can become sweaty allready... Its not a big issue. I have not found velours earpads of 11,5cm in diameter yet, but its recommended to spend the extra few EURO's.
I have not tested it anyway, my review is therefore completely subjective. I do have an above average interest and I think also an above average "ear" for audio quality.

Beast for gaming (goos sound stage and good for 7.1 virtual)
If you are looking for a good gaming headset (with actual good quality unlike headsets with gimmicks) get this the bass response is amazing (better then any gaming headset or studio quality headphones and also sound good on most sound cards as they wont need amping like some headphones out there the highs are amazing but not deafening and the mids and lows are also amazing the soundstage is amazing for games like cs go etc as you can pinpoint sounds also they sound amazing for music and reproduce music perfectly i guarantee you cant go wrong with these buy them before they sell out you will not regret it anyway thanks for the quick delivery thomann and also people wondering about the difference between these and the stock 681 evo these sound more clearer and have better highs and better bass response (basically face shakers)
